[VENOUS THROMBOSIS OF THE LEFT OVARIAN AND EXTENSION TO THE RENAL VEIN].
Revue Médicale de Liège 2016 January
Ovarian vein thrombosis is a rare, but potentially serious postpartum complication. In 80% of the cases, it occurs on the right side and in less than 6% on the left side; it is bilateral in 14% of cases. The usual clinical features include abdominal pain, fever and leucocytosis. However, the diagnosis is often complicated by other non specific signs and symptoms. Ovarian vein thrombosis may cause sepsis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and the renal vein. The diagnosis can be established by CT scan or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, which has a high sensitivity and specificity. Treatment for the ovarian vein thrombosis includes antibiotics and anticoagulation. The complications can sometimes be surgically managed. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can decrease the morbidity and the mortality. Nowadays, the fatal issue is rare as the appropriate treatment is quickly instaured.
